These things don't care. The virus doesn't care. It doesn't care that you are just about to open your first retail shop. It doesn't care that you love visiting your grandmother. It doesn't care that you recently finished chemotherapy.

It doesn't care about the collateral damage. It doesn't care about your theories or your political beliefs. It doesn't care about anything.

And for the virus, we can plug in lots of things. Faith, death, tyrants, time, the economy, creative destruction. As the Tim McGraw song says, the highway, don't care. It doesn't care that you're a good person. It doesn't care that you look down at your phone for just one second. It doesn't care that you had your whole life in front of you.

In Meditations, Marcus Errelius quotes a long-lost fragment from Europeedies. Why should you be angry at the world he says as if the world would notice?

The world doesn't care that it broke your heart. The world doesn't care that you really, really needed something.

Faith and fortune are indifferent, objective, merciless. They just keep marching on. We can get upset about this. We can take it personally. But why? That doesn't change anything except to make us extra unhappy on top.

All we can do is accept what they are. All we can do is accept what is and what it represents. All we can do is fight to protect ourselves and the people we care about. All we can do is continue to hold ourselves to the standards we believe in. All we can do is live while we can.
